| useSXGripCheck | Use the grip check pullback on Saw side loading | 6.4.84.0 | ZX5 / Toothed Gripper | 0 or 1 | 1 | On ZX5s without a channel bar (up to Z064) the gripper is sometimes not located properly so this feature to test if the gripper is engaged can be disabled |
| nosePushBack | Distance of Push back on ZX5 toothed grip loading | 6.4.84.0 | ZX5 / Toothed Gripper | 0 to 10 | 5 | This addition of a 5mm push back in 6.3065 should help stabilise the datum hole positions, but on some machines, this has caused a problem. Setting this to zero makes the loading cycle work pre- 6.3065 method of pushing up to the gripper at standstill |
| ringType | Ring type parameter to control tooling sequence |
6.4.91.0 | Machining Centres | -1 to 5 | -1 | rtDefault = -1 - sets by default, changed on first loading

| gripHoleSlotMode | Toothed gripper hole slotting mode | 6.4.93.0 | Toothed Gripper | 0 to 2 | 0 | Allows elongation of the toothed gripper holes on all profiles, or specific profiles
This helps the gripper pins locate if a profile has rotated slightly in the clamps Slotting modes 0 - off 1 - On profiles where the flip parameter = 'D' 2 - On all Profiles |
| gripHoleSlotSize | Toothed gripper hole slot size | 6.4.93.0 | Toothed Gripper | -5 to 5 | 0 | Movement of Y axis to produce gripper slot in mm
Can be + or - A negative value will elongate the hole towards the front of the machine - this is the most common as the profiles tend to roll back A positive value will elongate holes towards rear If elongation in both directions is needed, alter the yGripHolePosition parameter first and elongate +/- from that position

0 to 5000 | 3500 | This followed discovery of a bug which means MH side and saw side shared ps_ejectPush. This delay is now used solely for MH side ejecting if there is no eject out sensor |

| measureSensorPos2 | Autoflow gripper measure sensor 2 position | 6.5.13.0 | Autoflow Mk4 | 0 to 2000 | 1500 | |
| useFirstConveyorForReinforced | Determines which conveyor to output reinforced pieces | 6.5.13.0 | Autoflow Mk4 with dual conveyor system | 0 or 1 | 1 | |
| finalCutOffset | offset to apply to the final cut of a bar | 6.5.13.0 | All | -1 to 1 | 0 | Applied on a cut less than 150mm from end, as this reflects cuts where the gripper lets go of the profile and leaves the clamping for cutting to the outfeed side. This can create a predictable error that can be offset with this value |
| usePopupBackfenceZX5 | use the popup cylinders for a backfence on MH outfeed | 6.5.15.0 | ZX5 | 0 or 1 | 0 | Original software used the popups on Crank C as the backfence, but this was disabled as they were sometimes damaged by a wayward profile, ripping off the plastic journals.

| vsOffsetLead | Offset value for a vs profile for the vs tilted lead cut of the mitre pair \ ] | 6.5.22.0 | Autoflow VS | -5 to 5 | 0 | Allows a simple offset for inconsistencies with VS tilt cuts

| vsTiltTiltGap | Additional Gap added between two VS Square / square cuts with tilt | 6.5.23.0 | Autoflow VS | 0 to 10 | 3 | Needed if the above vsOffset parameters are used which could end in an overlap situation, putting the cuts in the wrong order on the bar length. The vsTiltTiltGap should exceed the maximum vsOffset |
| ps_InfeedConvDecelTime | Timer for the Infeed Conveyor decel time | 6.5.27.0 | Autoflow Mk4 | 0 to 5000 | 5000 | On Stuertz infeed, there is a electro-mechanical brake on the motor. This timer is the time from switching off the inverter output to application of the brake. This allows for issues when the inverter decel timer has not been set correctly. On A2027 it is set on 300 because the decel of the conveyor is 0.5 seconds which is too long |
